GUIDE ONE
Conscious Consumption
Think, ask friends or family before you buy
Evaluate consumption habits by noting desired items and revisiting the list after a week to prevent impulse purchases, particularly online. Seek advice from friends or family before buying, utilizing social media or quick messages to explore alternative options. Incorporating these practices fosters mindfulness, curbs impulsive tendencies, and promotes more informed and intentional purchasing decisions.
Borrow or join your local Freecycle group
Participate in your community’s Freecycle group by joining and staying updated on available items or posting a request if there’s something specific you need. Additionally, commit to borrowing at least one item instead of purchasing it within the upcoming month, thereby promoting resourcefulness and reducing unnecessary consumption.
